5. Using PowerPoint to Share & Collaborate

You can use PowerPoint to share your presentations with others. You can do this just to show them the presentation or for them to collaborate in real-time with you and other users.

How to Share your Presentation

On the ribbon, select Share.

If your presentation isn't already saved to OneDrive, you'll be prompted to save it there.

In the Send Link dialog box, do the following:

Enter the names or email addresses of the people you want to share with.

Select the drop-down to change permissions, if you want. Allow editing is checked by default. To change permission to view only, uncheck this box and select Apply.

How to Co-author a presentation

After you share your file, you can work together at the same time.

Under Share, see who is also working in the file.

Coloured flags show where each person is editing.

You can also Include a message if you'd like and select then Send.

You can also select 'Get a link' to create a link that you can copy into an email.

How to add Comments to your presentations

Select Review > Comment or @ Mention. Or select New if the Comments pane is open.

In the Comments pane, type your comment in the box, @mention a collaborator if you like, and press Enter.

Select Reply and type your response.

Select See more comments to go between comments and slides.
